Hello,

The courses are above all adapted to the personality of the student, his artistic sensibility and his objectives.
Through my professional experience and my years of study, I will be able to guide the student to the beginning of artistic autonomy and an ability to learn on his own.

During our first interview we will talk together about the student's objectives, and assess his level by taking into account his artistic skills.
I would clarify doubts and questions about the amateur or professional artistic career as well as the cartoon and video game industry and related studies.

The most important thing for the student is self-confidence and fulfillment, which will be the pillars for artistic progression and longevity.

Subjects taught:
-digital and traditional painting
- basic character building
-perspective
-decor and personal design
-light
- creation of a graphic universe

Do you want to learn the basics of drawing? Or are you already past that level? Do you want to draw on paper (with pencils) or on a screen? Do you want to learn the basics of 2D animation? All for a very reasonable price? We can do it!

Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel. I'm a (private) art teacher, I'm also a freelance artist and have been working as one for about 7 years. I'm looking for students in Utrecht, I have a teaching space available in my apartment (I can share my address when you contact me), but am also able to travel to your desired space within the city.
I can also teach via webcam, but I do recommend my in-person classes, seeing as they're more immersive and educational.

I unfortunately do not speak Dutch (yet), but am confident we can overcome any potential language barrier we come across.

I have the most experience in teaching teenagers and preteens, so I think we would definitely be a good match if you're a parent or guardian looking for a teacher for your child.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I have a bachelor's degree in digital arts, obtained at Saint Luc in 2016. During my studies I made live models, had courses in color, 2D animation, perspectives and character design.
I mainly draw with a graphics tablet.
During the lessons we will see how:
- look at an image, understand how the artist composes it, then learn to reproduce a style.
- use layers
- use filters to give more life to images
- learn different coloring methods, from grayscale coloring to colorization with filters
- use different brushes
- export illustrations in the correct formats
- integrate photos into your drawings

With this flexible method, I could teach you in a few lessons to discover or deepen your drawing style and improve your renderings.

Dive into the fundamentals of graphic design in this comprehensive course that covers everything from mastering essential tools to refining your creative mindset. Students will gain hands-on experience with the Adobe Creative Suite, focusing on Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for creating professional-quality visuals.

Lessons will explore branding and identity design, teaching students how to build cohesive brand systems that stand out. Additionally, we’ll explore how to approach design with a "pro mindset"—from concept to execution—and touch on user experience (UX) principles to ensure designs are both visually engaging and user-friendly. Perfect for aspiring designers looking to elevate their skills and think strategically in any creative field.

Learn to draw by observing the world around you.
In these classes we will explore drawing from life: people, places and everyday scenes.

We can work from real objects, photographs, or illustrations.
If you're interested in manga, ink drawing, or ukiyo-e (traditional Japanese woodblock prints), we can also explore that style.

If you have something you'd like to draw, you can bring it to class.
If not, we will use reference materials that I have prepared.

No prior experience is necessary. Beginners are welcome.

You can draw on paper with a pencil or marker, or also on a tablet if you prefer to work digitally.

The classes are adapted to your level and your interests.

I am currently based in Tokyo and offer in-person classes in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kawasaki, as well as online classes.
If you wish, we can also go outside and draw together while observing the city.

Do you want to create manga seriously but don't know where to start?

In this course we will work in depth on the 5 fundamental pillars of manga:
. Characters
Setting
. Plot
. Issue
. Drawing

The classes are designed for beginners and intermediate students who really want to improve, but don't know where to start or need a solid foundation.

Each class contains a theoretical part that will then be put into practice through exercises and development of ideas, in order to better internalize the concepts and learn to apply them correctly.

This course focuses primarily on the first four pillars and not so much on isolated technical drawing. The goal is to understand how a manga functions as a complete work and how to make all its elements work together.

At the end of the course, all the knowledge learned will be combined to create your own short manga or one-shot.

In this session we will:
A level assessment
We'll talk about your goals
We will organize a learning plan tailored to you.

📍 This is NOT another course. This is a mentoring 1:1 design program where you don't wander around — you learn to think like a designer.

Whether you need:
🎨 theory (composition, colors, typography)
🖥️ learn or upgrade software skills (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign...)
📚 or a combination of both - the classes are personalized to you and your pace.
👉 If you already have basic knowledge, we can work together on creating and arranging your portfolio - so that it shows your creativity
🌿 I am a designer with 17 years of experience and 9 years of formal education. Under my mentorship, you will get practical advice, help with active projects, support and clarity at every step. I guide you through the process until you become an independent designer, ready for international clients, freelance projects or full-time remote positions.

📩 Send me a message and book your appointment.
Your first step towards professional design can start today. ✨

Do you wish to draw your characters, ideas or even your manga/comics?
In this course I will teach you from the very basic to an advanced level.
I specialize in teaching you how to see the world from an artist perspective and use everything you see as a potential creative reference.

We'll start with basic perspective and soon move to character creation, character expression, dynamic posing, clothes and composition.

Many people want to start drawing but hesitate. "I don't have the time," "I don't have the talent," "I'm not good enough," and other things like that. What I suggest is overcoming these fears and diving headfirst into drawing.

Adult, teenager, child—everyone has the right to learn to draw with lessons tailored to the student's level and their reasons for wanting to draw. A personal passion? Want to recreate your favorite manga? Create your own comic? Or even pick up drawing again? I can teach you all of that, no problem.

As a professional illustrator and concept artist, I offer personalized drawing, illustration, and digital painting lessons, primarily for adults and teenagers. Children interested in learning to draw can also be guided with age-appropriate exercises.

The course content is tailored to your level, goals, and interests. We can work on the fundamentals of drawing: observation, construction, proportions, perspective, light, color, and composition. Sessions can also focus on creating characters, creatures, settings, and fantasy, historical, or science fiction worlds.

For students interested in digital illustration, I offer an introduction or advanced course on Photoshop: getting to grips with the software, using layers and painting tools, creating a composition, coloring, working on atmospheres and finalizing an illustration.

Each lesson includes explanations, demonstrations, practical exercises, and personalized feedback. I can also assist you with a personal project, the development of your artistic style, or the improvement of your portfolio.

My method is based on my professional experience and on a process combining visual research, sketching, composition, 3D bases when useful, then paintover and 2D finishing touches.
